(trying this again, since it didn't appear last time I sent it...) I have a dedicated server with 500GB monthly transfer limit, and I don't = want to cross that limit. So, I want to impose an artificial maximum bandwidth, yet not until a = certain threshold has been reached. Example: I have 500GB total max monthly transfer. I want a 400GB threshold before the limiter kicks in, which will impose = a byte/second limit for the remaining 100GB, so that it never goes over = 500GB for the month. But, from when the limiter has started till the end of the month, it = should recalculate remaining GB every half hour and adjust the = byte/second limit accordingly, since peak/idle hours are so varied. Reasoning: I don't want a simple flat byte/second limit for the whole 500GB/month, = since that would be 202 kilobyte/second ((500*1024*1024*1024) / = (60*60*24*30)), but peak and idle varies more than that. Realisticly, I doubt I'll even pass 100GB/month, but better safe than = sorry... Anyways, this should be on an interface level (as in running on the same = computer), not an external proxy. -- Tino Didriksen / Project JJ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
